Angell, Norman. The Great Illusion. Putnam. 1911.

Several years before the outbreak of World War I, Norman Angell challenged the then almost universally accepted theory that military and political power give a nation commercial and social advantages. He contended that the wealth of our modern world is founded upon credit and commercial contract which vanishes before an invading host and leaves nothing to reward the conqueror, but involves him in its collapse. His theme, in brief, was that nobody wins a modern war. "It may be doubted whether, within it (sic) entire range, the peace literature of the Anglo-Saxon world has ever produced a more fascinating or significant study." - A.S. Hershey, in American Political Science Review, 1911.
